The Glenrothes 12 Year Old Whisky

Great sherried dram, prefer it over its Macallan 12 sherries oak cousin

This is one of my favourites, a really nice flavour, not too harsh or peaty, I don't know enough to compare to lots of others but it hits the mark.

Very disappointed with this whisky, over priced, better younger malts at half the price. Lacks any maturity for a 12 year old.

It’s nice enough to drink but it’s not a £40 whisky. At that price there’s many whiskys that are far superior. Kilkerran, Deanston, Arran and Glencadam are way better and can be cheaper.

One of the nices whiskys to just sit and sip with a hint of cinnamon

I just don’t understand why you would bother. The makers cut is seven pounds more and rivals the glendronach 15! Then you have the berry bros and Rudd sherry cask which uses Glenrothes and has a much longer finish with real depth of flavour and is ten pounds cheaper than this. It’s pretty poor. There are so much better 12 year olds out there for the cash. Check out glen Garioch 12, Blair Athol 12 and bunnahabhain 12. Even Aberlour 12 is better. Or for the same cash, clynish 14! But my advise, get the makers cut instead!

Not too bad, but it has this disturbing artificial sweetness in the taste.
Will not purchase this again.

An excellent balance quality price!

Now THIS is what I expect from Glenrothes. Smooth, creamy vanilla. Beautifully balanced. Definite keeper
